Dr. Pepper Loses Bet with Guns N' Roses

Dr Pepper Loses Bet With Guns N' Roses

In May, Dr Pepper challenged Guns N' Roses to release its famously delayed album "Chinese Democracy" during 2008. If the album was issued, the soda company promised it would give away a free can of Dr Pepper to "everyone in America."

Now that "Chinese Democracy" will officially be released at the end of November, Dr Pepper plans to make good on its bet with rock band and give away soda by using coupons. It may turn out to be a brilliant marketing move, but it could cost Dr Pepper several million dollars, according to Ad Age, which put the total at $165 million in the extremely unlikely event that every American claimed his or her free can of soda.
I wonder if I can get Diet Dr. Pepper, or if the deal's only for regular Dr. Pepper.
